Step 2: Think “What do I want to do?”
There are so many things you can get involved in, so don’t think ‘Oh I’ll do anything’. Volunteering works best when you decide on something specific you want to do. You could think about an issue you are passionate about, or a hobby or interest. Some volunteering may need you to make a commitment to a fixed time and day. Other types of volunteering are more flexible when you fix the time and day as you go along. It all depends what fits in best with your life. Consider what kind of volunteering interests you: there are so many different kinds of volunteering opportunities available!

Step 3: The fact you are looking at this web site shows you are interested in volunteering. We have a number of different ways that you can find out more:-

You can come along to a 'Why Volunteer?' workshop. The workshop lasts for one hour and covers topics such as volunteer choice, rights and responsibilities. It then moves onto looking at why individuals want to volunteer and then takes you through the process of how to get into volunteering.

We also have opportunities available to have a one to one interview where we will sit down with you and discuss opportunities available to you. The meeting will be in private and will be confidential.
